 ABOUT US
 

We consider photography as a reality driven medium which unlocks doors into the depths of art. We see the camera as an instrument within a broader creative process. In our work, we strive to convey emotion and design rather than replication and illustration. With its power to transform a subject in a split second, light for us is the magical ingredient. As father and daughter, we are truly blessed to be able to share a creative world together. Our gallery is a sanctuary, a place where we can display our passion on a wall and enjoy sharing our love for art and photography with others.

INSPIRING GALLERY IN A BEAUTIFUL VALLEY

Tripadvisor

The Osner Family have opened a bright, modern beautiful gallery on their property overlooking the Valley of Hout Bay and the sea beyond. Martin Osner, a well-known and highly respected photographer exhibit works from his own magnificent photographic collections and in this space has created a nurturing launching-pad for the rise of the photographic career of his daughter, Samantha-Lee. Her initial whimsical work is exhibited adjacent to her striking new collections, and in the shadow of, but not overshadowed by her father's art. Other pieces by South African artists, in various media - sculptures in bronze and ceramic, as well as metalwork are also included in the gallery and placed to complement the gallery space, the photographic art and lead you out onto a spacious balcony overlooking the entire Hout Bay Valley. The Osner Gallery is a jewel in the crown of Hout Bay and an asset to the art circles of Cape Town. Well worth a visit.
